Not Enough to Do ….

with 7 comments

I caught Dr. Helen’s blog on Autism yesterday, which led me to read the article she referenced.  From there, I read about Dr. Simon Baron Cohen, and I was led, ultimately, to the Autism Quotient test.
From the AQ test site:

Psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at Cambridge’s Autism Research Centre have created the Autism-Spectrum Quotient, or AQ, as a measure of the extent of autistic traits in adults. In the first major trial using the test, the average score in the control group was 16.4. Eighty percent of those diagnosed with autism or a related disorder scored 32 or higher.

Well, I couldn’t help myself, and took the test.  I scored 32.

Hmmmm…..AQeyes

  1. That is the look of “32″, you should sell royalties for usage.

  2. Time to head to Vegas and start putting that 32 to work :D

    I scored a 23… I guess that would be in the “nothing interesting or special about me” range.
